Synopsis:

The Tanabata Nanayamatsuri is a secluded mountain festival rumored to grant wishes and facilitate encounters with those longed for. Shoma Mihara, prompted by a surprising message from his long-lost friend Atsushi, journeys to this remote village hoping for reconnection. He finds himself drawn into the festival's enigmatic atmosphere and unexpectedly crosses paths with Shiori, who shares a similar desire: to find someone specific within the crowd. The narrative explores themes of longing, connection, and the nature of chance encounters amidst a visually rich and subtly unsettling setting. As the festival unfolds, the characters grapple with the possibility of rediscovering lost bonds while navigating the mysteries woven into the heart of this unusual celebration. The series focuses on character interactions and the emotional weight of pursuing elusive relationships rather than grand external conflicts.
